The Broncos have reportedly hired Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio as their new head coach, and somewhere, Jim Mora Sr. has to be smiling.
Fangio served as defensive coordinator on Mora's Colts staff from 1999-2001. Mora was fired as Indianapolis' head coach coach at the end of the '01 season, when he led the Colts a fruitless 6–10 record. Perhaps the most worthwhile part of that season was an infamous press conference rant, in which a reporter asked Mora if he thought Indianapolis had chance to ever reach the playoffs.
As it turns out, Fangio had a role in what's considered one of the most memorable media sessions in NFL history.
